Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market this very well-established car repair and service centre, which has been established for more than 18 years, on the edge of town offering a large residential and commercial footfall. It would be an ideal start up for the discerning purchaser to put their own stamp on.
The business is currently run, by the owner only, who operates Monday to Friday. If the hours were increased and the business took on staff, there is certainly room for increasing the turnover and expanding the business, together with a website and more advertising. However, at present it is very much a lifestyle business, which suits the owner and gives him the flexibility he desires.
The garage itself has been run by the current owner for 18 years so is well established. He is now looking towards a well-earned retirement.
An internal inspection is very highly recommended to appreciate the position and potential on offer.
The business is currently run by the owner and one other occasional member of staff.
The business opens:
Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Saturday Closed
Sunday Closed
